1Title:  Benjamin Rose Institute Photographs     
 Creator:  Benjamin Rose Institute 
 Dates:  1880-1951 
 Abstract:  The Benjamin Rose Institute is a Cleveland, Ohio, foundation for the care and assistance of the elderly formed in 1908 via the estate of Benjamin Rose. The first foundation in the United States to address primarily the needs of the elderly, the Benjamin Rose Institute worked initially to keep the aged in their communities and avert their institutionalization. The Institute developed a national reputation for geriatric standards, care and research under Margaret Wagner, director from 1930-59. The Benjamin Rose Hospital was opened in 1953 and operated jointly with University Hospitals of Cleveland (Ohio) specializing in old age rehabilitation and health care. The Institute presently runs the Margaret Wagner House, a nursing home. The collection consists of individual and group portraits of Benjamin Rose, his family, friends, residences, businesses and properties. Also included are views of the Cleveland Provision Company, the Rose building on East 9th Street, and portraits of people connected with the Benjamin Rose Institute and its facilities.
